sending users to pages based on connection
How do you send users to pages based on their isp connection. I am trying to build a site that is complimentary to all users but if I build it graphic intensive the dial up users will experience drag time. I want the site to send the user to a page based on the connection they are on (i.e. Broadband,DSL, or dialup). Does anyone have any suggestions?

i think you should just have a link that would switch in between the two. when i had 56k i still went to the broadband parts of sites because i liked the images.
anyone can do any amount of work provided it isnt the work they are supposed to be doing.

I don't think there is any way to determine what connection someone is on, browser or OS, but not ISP. If you are worried about download times, as Jammin said, offer the vistors the option of a faster text version or the slower graphics version (although if done right it shouldn't be too slow for anyone) and then they can make up their own minds which one to go to.
